Dodgers' Chad Billingsley to undergo Tommy John surgery on right elbow

Fox Sports West | Apr 24

Dodgers got some bad news on Tuesday when the club revealed that Chad Billinglsey will undergo Tommy John surgery on Wednesday.

After an up-and-down 2012, Billinglsey finally started to show signs of the player the Dodgers had signed to a 3-year, $35-million deal the year prior. From July 23 to Aug. 19 Billingsley went on a tear, going 6-0 with a 1.30 ERA in 41.2 innings pitched. The next game, however, Billingsley left early after aggravating the same elbow that landed him on the DL just after the All-Star break. In 149.2 innings, Billinglsey went 10-9 with a 3.55 ERA, and the right-hander is a career 80-61 with a 3.66 ERA in his seven-year career with the Dodgers.
